  4. Stir in the heavy cream, if using.
  5. Serve the soup hot. Enjoy!

Tomatoes are a good source of vitamins C and K, potassium, and lycopene. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Tomato soup is a delicious and convenient way to incorporate these nutrients into your diet.
